Re: 98 saab 900 se convertible - driver side seat belt is...

The belt ratcheting mechanism is knackered. I have tried twice to fix this problem and simply could not do it. My ultimate solution was to buy a used belt from Goldwing Saab in NY and install that. It is about a 35 to 40 minute job in the verts.

Here the fix the saab convertable has the famous failed ground wire of the convertable top, the line the ground in the converatable itself and yes it fails, here is what you do behind the driver side is the convertable module you must identify the ground (I think it brown but very not sure), ground the convertable control ground wire and you will be functioning in no time dont bother to repair the ground in the top just the control top module and attach it to a good ground where it is mounted

If you lower the rear seat there is a **** in the carpet on the left hand side. Put your hand through and pull the red lever all the way down this will disengage the motors and alow you to lower the roof manully. Make sure you don't put the rear seat back up or it will push the leaver back up and you won't be able to move the roof hope this helps.

There's a red lever behind the rear passenger seat, fold down the rear seats to the trunk and you'll see it. Pull the lever down, and this should disengage the convertible motor. You should now be able to move the top up or down with some resistance against the hydraulic fluid left in the lines.

i have a saab 900 se conv that i am going to do the same thing. i think im just going to go with the same color, and same patterns of the old seats. i will just add some ripples, new heated seat elements, and speakers. and also i am going to look into adding vents with fans for cooling.
